On the occasion of K 2016, Chem-Trend announced the addition of Lusin Protect G 31 F to its broad line-up of high performance mould maintenance products for the thermoplastics processing industry. Lusin Protect G 31 F is an anti-corrosion protectant developed specifically for use in the packaging industry and is applicable for food grade applications where incidental food contact is possible.

The new product is a dry film which provides significant benefit over typical oil-based rust inhibitors. The dry film does not creep between mould plates, slides and core adjustments and can be easily removed from the mould cavity by the simple process of part moulding, allowing for time and labour savings. Additionally, unlike typical oil-based rust-inhibitors the new product does not produce “oil marks” on transparent and optical parts.

Lusin Protect G 31 F is NSF registered and conforms to H1 category code and therefore complies with FDA 21 CFR §178.357. The newly developed anti-corrosion protectant, which works in an innovative way to prevent rust on metal parts over both the short and long-term, can also be used as a lubricating agent, providing additional benefits to the end-user.

Founded in 1960 and part of Freudenberg Group, Chem-Trend is a global leader in the development and production of high-performance purging compounds, release agents and other ancillary moulding products.
